Kodak Renaissance II Scanner

The affordable RENAISSANCE II and RENAISSANCE II Plus copydot scanning systems convert halftone film separations into their digital equivalents, facilitating the integration of supplied or archived film, or reflective copy, into a fully digital workflow. Advanced scanning technology produces an exact replica of the original film by copying it dot-for-dot, without introducing moiré or artifacts. The copydot scanning system provides substantial labor cost savings by automating film stripping at both the page-registration and form-imposition stages, and in combination with the on-press makeready savings of a computer-to-plate digital workflow, provides a fast return on investment.

The RENAISSANCE II and RENAISSANCE II Plus copydot scanning systems support computer-to-plate and computer-to-film technology by enabling you to scan color-separated, halftone film and generate digital files for integration into a complete end-to-end digital workflow. Based on the GATF InterTech Technology award-winning RENAISSANCE scanning system, the RENAISSANCE II and RENAISSANCE II Plus scanning systems are able to produce an exact replica of the original film by copying it dot-for-dot without introducing moiré or artifacts.

RENAISSANCE II Plus copydot scanning system

The RENAISSANCE II Plus copydot scanning system is built on the same architecture as the RENAISSANCE II copydot scanning system, but offers faster throughput and greater image storage capacity. The RENAISSANCE II Plus copydot scanning system offers 40% faster throughput than the RENAISSANCE II copydot scanning system, which enables you to scan more jobs and increase your productivity. The RENAISSANCE II Plus copydot scanning system has twice the internal drive capacity of the RENAISSANCE II copydot scanning system, allowing you to store more files and increase your workload. The RENAISSANCE II copydot scanning system is field upgradeable to the RENAISSANCE II Plus copydot scanning system.

Copydot Toolkit software adds performance and flexibility

Copydot Toolkit is a supplementary software product that offers you the ability to interrogate, view, reformat, edit, descreen, resample, and scale copydot files from the RENAISSANCE copydot scanning system, as well as other sopydot scanners. It also allows for the integration of archived copydot or 1-bit TIFF files into new workflows. The copydot Toolkit adds flexibility to any copydot workflow, saving time, increasing productivity, and delivering both cost savings and faster job turnaround.
